Does anyone have any experience working with STM32 MCU or the Nucleo boards?

I dabbled a long time ago, whilst at college, using the mbed online ide. It seemed very easy and had similar libraries to load for add-on modules like Arduino does. Compiling was very quick and you end up downloading a hex (I think) file that you just drag and drop into the development board which is detected as a mass storage device. I really enjoyed it and made some good progress very quickly. From what I recall each library has example code to get you going quickly. Because you don’t need to install anything you can use any pc to work on and all your code is just there. No special drivers. However, I think they’ve changed the ide quite a lot since then with mbed os (whatever that is) and I believe they’re focused on iot devices so it may all be very different now.

O so this is how its done,…
